Buddy Rush: King's Set (1.5)

A buddy of mine just donated a red King's Set, so I guess it is time to write this article.

Update 14 February 2012:My buddy just donated more items - the blue set and a couple of pieces of the green set. They are added further below.

Update 23 February 2012: My buddy donated the green set.

Update 5 July 2012:Finally completed the colorless set.

Update 11 June 2013:disboima sent in screenshots of the silver King's Set that came with the latest Mini-wave.

The Sixth Wave introduced the Arena where the player may battle random parties of other player characters. If successful, the player will be rewarded with a treasure chest, which may contain an item of the King's set.

There are five qualities of the King's Set, each with different level requirements and increasing stats. All four items of the King's Set to be equipped must be of the same color quality for there to be a set effect. Also, two equips with the same name cannot be equipped, even if they are of different colors.

The King's Set does not have HP or MP Regen. Neither does it have MP or Evade bonuses. The character equipping the set likely would run out of HP and/or MP early. The set does, however, have good Att and Skill Pow, making it good for offense. The last two equip slots may be filled with items that help the character last longer in battle.

Finally collected the colorless set. Note that these are from the third Mini-wave of the Seventh Wave.

The red set's stats are almost as good as the purple sets from early Raids. Though the red set is definitely better than Genzir's Set. Unlike the purple Raid sets, the red set can be gifted, so it is easier to complete. Also, it can be donated to buddies to help them. :)

I am not sure how many Honor Points are necessary for the red set equips to start appearing. The buddy who donated the red set had his Honor Points at 9k+. Then again, he also has purple King's Set items.

Update 4 October 2012:I have finally completed the purple King's Set! The stats below are after the 8.1 Hotfix (1.7.1).

The silver King's Set has more Skill Pow, better Skill CoolTime and even comes with some MP. It also has some Stun but bad Def. This set is probably better for characters who do not take lots of damage in combat (i.e. not for tanks).---
